Valley Floor Covering decided to advertise with a billboard. The message: "Get Layed."
The owner of Valley Floor Covering was quoted, "I'm a carpet layer, I have been for almost 40 years," said Rich Adamaitis. "Obviously the sign doesn't use proper grammar, and there is a carpet behind it so I think people get it. And it's a lighthearted play on non-words, really. I certainly don't mean to offend anyone."
This billboard made the national news. Many people loved it, and many people hated it. I personally chuckled out loud, thinking it was damn clever. If I needed carpet, and I happen to live near Valley Floor Covering, that's who I'd be using.
